Comments

The title of this report is Government and Health Care. This report contains a discussion of the newly formed Commission on Hospital and Health Care and the increased involvement of the Federal government in the voluntary health care system. The discussion takes place between Dr. Robert W. Berliner, Dr. Fred Hyde, Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, Geoffrey Peterson, Dr. Lawrence K. Pickett, Rosemary Stevens, G. Harold Welch, Jr., and Charles B. Womer. Highlights from the year include the addition of a policy of Patients’ Rights and the establishment of a ten-town Emergency Medical Communication System. Cardiac resuscitation teams formed to assist in sudden emergencies in the Hospital. An Employee Performance Review plan is established and there is a list of improvements to employee benefits included. Renovations to the Memorial Unit include oxygen and suction outlets at each bed, air-conditioning, new windows, ceilings to conform to fire codes, carpeting, safety, and bed modules. Ground was broken for a new Primary Care Center and the new 32-million volt linear accelerator.
